It’s another week, it’s another week, here we go into another week. You really have to imagine me singing that because I’m always singing around the house. And not well I might add. I just do it mainly because it annoys the heck out of my children haha. They especially love it when I use my “beautiful” opera voice! :)

Also I wanted to make sure everyone’s had the opportunity to enter to win a copy of the e-book called Cut It Out! How I Feed My Family of 10 for $500 a Month Without Coupons. In it you learn how to build a price book (a downloadable template for you to use and adapt for your own use is included), how to plan you meals and how to use the foods you already eat to begin to reduce the amount of money you spend at the grocery store. It is available for sale for $3.99 as a pdf, it is also available for the Kindle or the Nook.

Please visit this post to enter and enjoy the recipe for Killer Meatballs while you are there :)

I don’t really have a recipe highlight from last week but I’d love if you’d share one with me from your week!

Instead of deciding what we want and then going to see what I have to buy for the week, I have started to take stock of what we have before I make the menu so we can use up some of the excess and I can save more money on groceries each week.

I really love the Ham & Cheese Ziti recipe! I’m definitely going to give that one a try soon. I wonder if I’ll be able to pass off the spinach as parsley, like I often try to do when my kids ask me what they’re eating and I don’t necessarily want to tell them! LOL!

We had ground venison in some chili not too long ago. I never did spill the beans on that particular little secret. ;-)

Have a great week, everyone! And, as always, thanks to Laura for hosting!!

Cute printables! Happy to post my first meal plan on here today. I love looking at everyone’s plans. I have even added many of the recipes found here into my own meal planning. I also love finding new blogs to read.

We tried 5 new recipes last week from kojodesigns.com. They were freezer cooking recipes.I love how simple they were to prepare and they were packed with flavor! Will definetly be cooking them up again soon!

I need to start planning my meals more regularly. We’re gone just about every night of the week and with working full time and everything, it’s just hard to do. Hubby and I used to plan meals each weekend, but, we slowly dropped that habit. We did our menu planning around 3 or 4 years ago and haven’t returned to that wonderful habit, since.
